Just go to recovery mode when you switch on your device and flash your nandroid backup located in your sd card. Simple as that!
1)Boot your phone into recovery.
2)go to Backup and restore.
3)Choose the nandroid backup file.
4)select,wait and and when its done reboot and volia! its done.

Thanks

You haven't screwed up your phone but you have lost your data if you haven't done a nandroid... Why do you format your SD BTW? It is not necessary unless you have Apps2SD... Also a nandroid doesen't save your SD card data it saves your custom ROM with all your mods to your SD... Your text is actually quite confusing... Have you lost your modified ROM or your SD card data? If it's your SD card data you might be able to find software on the internet for recovery of lost files...
just download a new rom;
go into recovery;
check 'usb toggle mode';
copy *.zip to your phone;
wipe all the things you need to wipe;
flash your *.zip
*after you've created a new BART or Nandroid backup of your working system,
copy the BART or Nandroid folder from your SD-card to your local pc so you always have a good backup by hand
**you have NOT bricked your phone so don't stress out

M a N00b i admit , well i jst want to know how to make a nandroid backup...with simple step, even i heard after making back up the phone goose back to factory default .?
Make a custom recovery first.Then nandroid backup it.Basically a nandroid backup is like saving your 'gameplay'. Its just for backup purpose before you flash another ROM.

Well i have run nandroid back up and they are in my sd card. and if i want to flash my phone, i will have to wipe my sd card. won't that delete nandroid folder from the card?
Guys I also want to ask following:
1. I am on void delta. Before installing void, I had rooted my phone and installed custom recovery and thereafter I made a simple nandroid backup(without android secure or ext. Now, if i restore that nandroid backup, will I still have the custom recovery?
2. I have void with 784 mb partition on sd for apps. And I have about 298 apps installed (almost used 90% of ext partition).
Can I make a complete nandroid backup of system, data and ext? And will it be restorable? Kindly answer both the questions.
Thanks to all you great people.

Sure it will. That's why you should backup everything from the SD to your computer before partitioning it.

1. Yes.
2. If you have enough free space on the FAT partition of the SD I don't see why it shouldn't be possible. Although some people reported problems when trying to restore a NAND backup. Haven't tried it myself yet, so this is just hearsay.

[Q] Does Nandroid backup restore modem?

Hi everyone,Before Installing WanamLite V6.0 I made a Nandroid backup. Now I want to revert to stock ROM which is the Nandroid backup I made,but wanted to know,does Nandroid Backup Also Restore MODEM? Cause I don't want modem to be restored.
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
A standard Nandroid does not.
CWM does not backup or restore the modem.
Not too sure about other recoveries though....
I'm using Official CWM 6.0.3.1! And what about folders on the internal SDCard? Cause WanamLiteV6 is Android 4.2.2 and messed up Internal SDCard with emulated/0 folder...
you should be ok.
sdcard/0 might still exist after you've restored but can be deleted....
Will try to restore then,will let you know
If you face problems going back to your nandroid try using philz recovery and completely wiping the phone before you restore. It should get rid of everything.

[Q] Can't restore a NANDROID backup!

Hello guys!
Recently I decided to flash a new ROM, and before that i made a nandroid backup with CWM. Backup was saved in /storage/extSdCard/clockworkmod/backup. After a new rom flashing, i didn't like it, so i decided to restore from my nandroid backup. When I open Rom manager app, and select to restore backup, my backup shows up, however, when I click restore, after booting to recovery menu, it says "can't mount backup path". I have rom manager CWM recovery v5.5.3.7.
What should I do? Is it possible to restore from PC?
Delete (please ignore)
have you tried to move your nandroid backup to the internal storage and restore from there?
